[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup! I hear ya! I am obsessing over Nutcracker auditions (was supposed to be this weekend) and will they reschedule? Are they going to have a Nutcracker performance next December? Fingers crossed. I am choosing to stay positive.[/quote]

My serious dancer is terribly concerned about this same thing.  I honestly don't see how it happens.  How do you socially distance backstage?  How can they afford to run the theaters with such lowered capacity?  I've hesitated to discuss this with my daughter...[/quote]

DP.  Me too!  I'm a little happy there are a few others with whom I can commiserate about this.  It's such a frivolous concern, all things considered and many people have much bigger problems, but still I'm sad and DD will be too if it doesn't happen.

My DD missed opportunity for spring performances.  Our Nutcracker auditions are not until fall but I'm wondering if those will fall through too?  And this was the year she was old enough for some "big" parts.  If Nutcracker doesn't happen, how does the company survive?  Nutcracker pretty much provides the finances for the entire year.[/quote]

Original Nutcracker poster here. [b]My 6 year old daughter had the most magical experience from audition in the spring (was supposed to be this weekend) to rehearsals, the PERFORMANCE, and the cast party, too! I absolutely LOVED sharing this experience with her, and think I enjoyed it as much as she did. [/b]PP, It may seem "frivolous"  to some, but it is  things like the Nutcracker that make life special. I had this discussion with my brother who is an avid tennis fan. His concern all of the tennis opens! And listening to Dr. Bright right now is now on the news is not making me feel any better. I am grateful that I have fellow Nutcracker parents to vent to. I am trying to be optimistic, but it is hard to wrap myhead around how they will be able to pull it off. I don't know. Maybe they are planning modifications(?) Thoughts....[/quote]

This is literally exactly how I feel about swim team and my child who, for the first time, actually stuck with an activity.  He found how to let go of trying to be perfect and just have fun, and then got to feel what it was like to be proud of his hard work and seeing something through.  It was a huge deal.  I'm so mourning the loss of the team, and the lessons.  I was so proud of him last year for trying and not giving up.  I was hoping to keep up those wonderful life lessons we got from swimming last year.[/quote]
